This is a very big problem in Malta, and tourism has of course accentuated it. One of the most common in Malta, overflowing bins, a large area of waste within walking distance from residential areas.

More use of environmentally dangerous products

The development of tourism has contributed to the increased use of environmentally damaging products such as plastic containers and toxic gasses emissions from cars, power plants and a barbecue. In addition, the increase in noise levels from cars, airplanes, boats, air-conditioning, effluent, and so on.

High tourist densities

As mentioned above, Malta is very densely populated, with or without tourism. Tourism has increased the use of transport, beaches and other recreational and cultural facilities. This cluster not only causes inconvenience to residents, especially those living in tourist areas, but more adverse events, including beach habitat destruction (especially the sand dunes), trampling on fragile habitats in the country side, and over-visitation rates in fragile archaeological sites. A note on the environmental impact of non-tourism economic activity on the environment is in order here. Although tourism is often associated with environmental degradation, it should be noted that the lack of tourism activities have a negative impact on the environment too, and thus the definition of environmental damage that tourism can not be alternative forms of development. In Malta, for example in the production of its dependence on technology, fuel and water, sometimes it can be more harmful to the environment of tourism. Repair of ships, which uses a significant amount of blasting and the agricultural sector, the dependence on pesticides and cause irreversible damage to the environment in Malta. It should be noted that any economic activity is environmentally neutral and tourism is not always a must in this case.

VICE model

VICE - A model for sustainable destination management

A model of sustainable development, management appointed an alternate model defines sustainable management as fair use interaction between visitors, an industry that serves them, the communities that host and their effect on the collective response of the environment

It is the job of the sustainable destination manager to make sense of their own specific set of local VICE circumstances and, through an array of collective partnerships, harness this collective energy to create a destination management plan which aims to:

welcome, involve and satisfy Visitors

achieve a profitable, prosperous and high-quality Industry

engage and benefit all host Communities

protect, reflect and enhance the local Environment.

The VICE concept is extremely simple and can be used by agencies, businesses and government as a means of making tourism an integral part of sustainable development, recapturing a sense of local community control, resilience, financial independence and pride that will improve both the local quality of life and the visitor experience.
